Amara’s Pov

Carefree Laughter filled the empty hallways, I looked around for the source only to see nothing. The white and golden interior which I despised was the only thing there.

Suddenly I felt a hand tap my shoulder and a soft whisper in my ear “Save me” That voice..I could recognise that voice anywhere. I turned around only to catch a glimpse of the little brunette turning around the corner of the hallway. She ran and giggled as if me running to catch up with her was a game.

The hallways seemed to be infinite, I followed her for what seemed like hours. “Cuore mio”  I called out knowing she would respond to it. She stopped, turning around to face me.
                                                    
I moved closer towards her, wanting to hug her, wanting to tell her that everything was going to be okay.

As I moved forward I saw her eyes, they weren't the same eyes that I remember, the eyes that held so much love for me- no these eyes were different.

These eyes were filled with rage, hatred, disgust. She looked at me like she hated the mere sight of me. “You couldn't do it.” she said, gritting her teeth. “What?” I softly whispered staggering backwards.

“You couldn't save me” she said, stalking towards me in anger. My hands trembled as I whispered “I'm sorry” pathetically over and over again.

“YOUR SORRY ISN'T GOING TO BRING ME BACK!” she screamed and my heart broke, I walked towards her as tears ran down her cheeks and her innocent face looked at me in disappointment.

“Why didn't you save me?” She said, her voice breaking, with tears in my eyes I leaned forward to touch her cheek.

A loud bang rang through the air.

She fell into my arms and red filled my hands.

She died in my arms.

Again.

My eyes shot open as I sat up in bed, breathing heavily.

I was used to these nightmares, I haven't had a relaxed sleep in what seems like forever.

I looked at the time 2:30 am, walking in the bathroom, I saw my reflection in the mirror. Dark circles under the dark brown eyes, hair messed up.

The longer I looked in the mirror, the more I despised myself.

After Freshening up, I moved towards my personal gym, working out was the only thing that could keep me distracted.

Being forced to workout since the age of 10 makes you addicted.

“Amara, darling it's been 3 hours” I heard Mr Haruto, he was standing at the door with the spy baby in his hands.

I nodded before wiping the sweat off my forehead, the kid leaned towards me with his hands open. On reflex, I moved to grab my gun on the chair.

“AWWW do you want Amara to take you, cutie pie?” Mr Haruto said in his weird high pitched voice.

Oh Hell no.

I slowly moved backwards “I'm going to go take a shower”

“But he wants you to hold him,” he said, looking at me with hopeful eyes.

“No”

I rolled my eyes at the baby in my hands as Mr Haruto hummed in the kitchen making breakfast. The little shit was currently twirling my hair and giggling as it touched his face.

“He likes you,” Mr Haruto said, smiling at us, I just gave him a blank stare. That means literally nothing to me.

He just shook his head at me and went back to cooking “what do you think we should name him?” He asked me while flipping pancakes. I looked at him “why are you asking me?” He looked around us “do you see anyone else here?” A small smile made its way on my face at his retort.

The only person who could speak like that to me was Mr Haruto, he was family to me.
And maybe sometimes Matteo, if he was lucky.

I just shrugged my shoulders and continued to look through documents that Erik had sent me as the baby in my hands babled to himself.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my cheek, and my eyes widened as I looked at the kid who was giggling. The little shit just smacked me.

A light flashes on our faces and Matteo chuckles hard, looking proudly at the photo he clicked. “Keep your flash off while taking secret pics, you idiot” Xavier said smacking him.

“"Buongiorno capo" (good morning boss) Xavier said, “morning”. Matteo immediately walked towards me and held his arms out for the baby.

I gladly let him take it but the baby had another plan as he wrapped his arms around my neck and moved his head away from Matteo. “What” Matteo said being dramatic as he held his heart “i thought we were best friends” he said dropping to the floor in fake agony.

The baby giggled and clapped his hands at matteo’s little play.

“Boss there's an update on this year's meeting organised by the grumpy old fucks” Xavier said standing besides me. I nodded and got up, handing the baby to Mr Haruto “send the breakfast to my office” I motioned Xavier and Matteo to follow me.

“Qual è l'aggiornamento?" (What's the update) “The board called, they said they can't excuse you for missing the meeting again this year, you'll have to attend” I rolled my eyes at that, new fucking headache. “Why?” I asked as I entered my office, the black interior office with a modern and sophisticated ambiance.

I sat down in my black leather chair, folding my legs, leaning back. They stood in front of the table as I motioned them to sit, “They said they had something very important to discuss and they need every leader to attend, especially you” Matteo snorted and said “of course they need her to attend, she's more successful than any of the idiots there”

Xavier nodded his head agreeing, I looked at the invitation for this stupid meeting at the desk. “Immagino che andremo a questo incontro" (I guess we're going to this meeting) Matteo's face did that weird things that he always does and he shouted

“WE'RE GOING TO GO SHOPPING”

Maledetto inferno (fucking hell)
